  2. Absolutely and completely monotonic functions and sequences

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_and_completely...

    The notions of completely and absolutely monotone function/sequence play an important role in several areas of mathematics. For example, in classical analysis they occur in the proof of the positivity of integrals involving Bessel functions or the positivity of Cesàro means of certain Jacobi series. [ 6 ]

  3. Amyloid beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_beta

    Amyloid beta (Aβ, Abeta or beta-amyloid) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids that are the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. [2] The peptides derive from the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP), which is cleaved by beta secretase and gamma secretase to yield Aβ in a cholesterol ...

  4. P3 peptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P3_peptide

    p3 peptide generates from the 17-40 or 17-42 sequence of the amyloid precursor protein , which is a type I integral membrane protein concerned in neurons’ synapses in many human tissues. Under normal physiological conditions, APP is processed with three different proteolytic enzymes: α-, β-and γ-secretases. At first, APP molecule is cut by ...

  5. Amyloid plaques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_plaques

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a small protein, most often 40 or 42 amino acids in length, that is released from a longer parent protein called the Aβ-precursor protein (APP). [24] APP is produced by many types of cell in the body, but it is especially abundant in neurons. It is a single-pass transmembrane protein, passing once through cellular ...

  6. Biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomarkers_of_Alzheimer's...

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) is composed of a family of peptides produced by proteolytic cleavage of the type I transmembrane spanning glycoprotein amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP). Amyloid plaque Aβ protein species ends in residue 40 or 42, [ 4 ] but it is suspected that Aβ42 form is crucial in the pathogenesis of AD.

  7. Dirichlet's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_test

    In mathematics, Dirichlet's test is a method of testing for the convergence of a series that is especially useful for proving conditional convergence. It is named after its author Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet , and was published posthumously in the Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées in 1862.

  8. Infinite compositions of analytic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_compositions_of...

    Let {f n} be a sequence of functions analytic on a simply-connected domain S. Suppose there exists a compact set Ω ⊂ S such that for each n , f n ( S ) ⊂ Ω. Forward (inner or right) Compositions Theorem — { F n } converges uniformly on compact subsets of S to a constant function F ( z ) = λ .

  9. Sheffer sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffer_sequence

    Fix a polynomial sequence (p n).Define a linear operator Q on polynomials in x by = ().. This determines Q on all polynomials. The polynomial sequence p n is a Sheffer sequence if the linear operator Q just defined is shift-equivariant; such a Q is then a delta operator.
